The End of a King

Dear Friends of the Maasai Mara,

After some time waiting to find out what had happen to Clawed I now finally come to this final fear well to the Old King of the Marsh pride Clawed.
This Male came into the Marsh pride with Romeo and Challenge Notch after his brother got Killed by a buffalo in the Marsh.

Rest in Peace Old boy this not how we wanted you to home however you have died like a brave King fallen onto a Maasai Warrior spear.

It was a matter of time who will take over the Marsh pride, as we know the old Males were not able to continue protecting the pride.
Clawed was ok but a lone matting patrolling at night the pride territory was not possible in the mara, where we have such a strong coalition of young males between 3 to 6 at times.
The young males from the Marsh and there Sisters had been on the edge not really joining the rest of pride especially after Lisbey got lost how ??

Where did we fail I think stopping the old Male and the Marsh pride from praying on Maasai Cattle. Secondly is compensating the locals from the lose of there cows,
Third educating the maasai Mara people on the importances of Lions, numbers around the world and how many left in the Kenya and Maasai Mara.

Senior Members of the Marsh pride a live today are Clawed somewhere hiding from the Musketeers, Bibi, and White Eye.
Coming up, out of the 9 cubs during Big Cat live all the females(4) are a live on top of Rhino Ridge, (5) of the brothers went off towards the Mara Conservancy sadly 2 died early on and 3 were ok some time ago near the marshes below (Little Governors dirisha).
Joy went towards Oloibor soit and sadly had lost one little cub of the 5 she left with after the take over by the 4 musketeers.

I also heard that Claude/Clawed had died. Everyone was talking about it when I was at Rekero three weeks ago. Sorry we didn't get to meet, by the way!

Jackson, when you say: "Senior Members of the Marsh pride a live today are Clawed somewhere hiding from the Musketeers, Bibi, and White Eye", I'm not clear which senior members are alive? Could you clarify?

I have not had if Romeo had Died the last time I sow him was when I was at Rekero camp January this male was in ok just lonely,If he had died I still have to find out however for sure Clawed had been speared at Mara rianta Bomas.I would like to clarify its Bibi, and White Eye in the pride and I may had Mistaken Romeo with Late Clawed.

That's to bad they killed him.. It really makes me mad when they do, the Lions are animals they see food and go after it! They can't differentiate between wild food and farm food! That's just not right!!

unfortunately more humans are moving to Kitengela which is the new up and comming area for our generation as they start families of their own. Hope something can be done to reduce Human animal conflict.
